When viewing a piece of art, we usually only see a finished product. We either admire it, or we don’t. I really appreciate an artist’s work even more when I have the opportunity to see what exactly went into producing a piece, the process by which they came to their conclusion.

It is fascinating to watch and learn what is actually ‘put into’ such works.
